TIL that it takes less energy to launch something out of the solar system than directly into the sun. Apparently its because the massive gravity of the Sun causes objects to orbit instead of pulling objects into itself. Why?

Related (hopefully) question: Could the atmosphere and gravity of Venus be used to adjust the trajectory of the object to get it into the Sun? Or use one of the larger planets ( more gravity=more braking force)?
